The secret weapon we don’t want to fall prey to.

The secret weapon.

Life is beautiful and in this age of advanced technology, knowledge, and unlimited avenues of communication, health and well-being should be a given. But it’s not. In fact, the opposite is true.

Chronic disease and depression are increasing, masses of people are unhappy and unhealthy, especially in the western world. As other parts of the world are ‘developing’, it seems chronic disease follows their development.

I think we have misinterpreted the word ‘developing’. The other meaning of developing is: fall ill with, be stricken with, succumb to; contract, catch, get, pick up, come down with, become infected with. That is a more fitting definition at the moment.

It is not the development of technology that is the culprit. It is development and knowledge in the wrong hands. Knowledge and advanced technology have become a lucrative way to increase power and wealth. The secret weapon used is the knowledge of how to evoke certain emotions and use these emotions to convince the masses to buy into purchasing products or into believing certain messages. One emotion they want to evoke is particularly popular: fear.

A few obvious examples are Monsanto with their GMO's, big Pharmaceuticals promoting drugs, and the food industry promoting food. Not so obvious is the media providing information that is artificial, incomplete and filtered. The information we are presented with is far from the truth. Big corporations and politicians are masters of using the secret weapon and have the media in their pocket to mislead and manipulate the masses.

Recently, the refugee crisis is causing a lot of controversies. The fear message is that helping the refugees and letting them into one’s country is dangerous. I am sad and it pains me to see how easy it is to have masses of people fall for the fear propaganda, intensifying the separation. We so desperately need to come closer, reconnect and have compassion. Fear is causing more disconnect, separation, and a protective mentality. But the question is protection from what? The threat is an implanted illusion, used by big powerful egos to gain power.

Why can fear be used as a powerful secret weapon?

  1. Fear is a very primal emotion, meaning that from an evolutionary point of view, the emotion fear is there to protect us from danger. Fear is necessary and functional as it helps us to survive. The universal physiological response to fear is fight, freeze or flight. No conscious interference there, just a primal response to protect ourselves.
  2. The emotion fear impacts our judgement and decision making. Studies have shown that fear increases the sense of risk and danger, and judgment and choices made based on fear are relatively pessimistic.
  3. Fear makes you dumb. Fear sets off a primal protection mechanism in your body. We have to act fast, the conscious mind is just not fast enough. The blood distribution will be such, that less blood will go to the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of the brain that controls your reasoning and logic, your thinking brain.
  4. Fear hijacks your brain so you feel a threat and it shuts down the part of the prefrontal cortex that is needed to connect to yourself and others. This means we are less self-aware and more likely to disengage with others. Disconnection is the result.

It is much easier to influence people who are in a state of fear into believing what they are told. Religions use fear to keep people faithful. Politicians use fear to push through new laws that give them more power. Pharmaceuticals use fear to make their drug seem indispensable. In the hands of greedy powerful people, fear can become a dangerous secret weapon.

Awareness of your emotions and how they might affect your choices, decisions, and actions, is so important, especially now in this age of advanced technology. That same advanced technology could contribute to the end of all the suffering. We need a mass consciousness

That same advanced technology could contribute to the end of all the suffering. We need a mass consciousness shift and become immune to this fear virus. Don’t let fear become the captain of your life. The illusion of danger planted in your mind is nothing but an artificial reality. Sometimes it is so subtle, we don’t even notice it.

Don’t let fear become the captain of your life. The illusion of danger planted in your mind is nothing but an artificial reality. Sometimes it is so subtle, we don’t even notice it.

Unfortunately, the results of a fear-based mindset are reflected in today's world: war, conflict, refugee crisis, economic crisis, health crisis, and environmental crisis.

We are not in a state of fear because of all of this, but it is fear that causes us to be in this mess and it’s keeping us there. Unless we change our mindset.

Mindset of Love and Compassion.

Maybe you think I am a new age, paranoid hippy by now. That’s okay. I am not trying to force my view upon anyone. There are many people promoting the mindset of love and compassion, the Dalai Lama, and Mother Theresa to name just a few. They know what the antidote to fear and suffering is and they have successfully spread their message of love and compassion. The gentle egoless-ness of these people is far more powerful than the power of forceful egos. But it takes time and consistency.

All it takes is for us to stop receiving the fear message and tune into a different channel, broadcasting on a different frequency, with a different message. You would have to be aware that you are in fact a receiver, and that you do have a choice which signal you wish to receive.

Listen to your heart. Make love and compassion the captain of your mind. It will change how you feel and think. It will change your choices and actions, which means it will change your life and your relationships. You can become the broadcaster of love and compassion, and when this message is received by the masses, it will change the world.
